STAR Wellness Services
At STAR Holistic Services, we believe well-being extends beyond any one area of life. Our approach is rooted in supporting the whole person — mentally, emotionally, physically, and socially. As STAR continues to grow, our wellness services create more opportunities for individuals to care for themselves through movement, connection, and meaningful experiences.
From Pilates and yoga to wellness-focused events and future programming, our goal is to create a welcoming space where you can move, recharge, connect, and invest in your overall well-being.
Who We Are
S-Support
refers to the ongoing emotional and psychological assistance provided to individuals as they navigate their therapeutic journey. This includes providing a safe space for clients to express themselves, offering encouragement, guidance, and resources that help manage mental health or behavioral challenges.
T-Treatment
involves the professional services and interventions provided to address the specific mental health concerns of a client. This may include therapeutic modalities such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based approaches to help individuals manage or overcome their challenges.
A - And
represents the connection between Support, Treatment, and Recovery. It signifies that these elements are not separate stages, but interwoven parts of a holistic process. Each complements and strengthens the others—support fosters engagement in treatment, treatment facilitates recovery, and recovery deepens one’s capacity to seek and sustain support. Together, they form a continuous, compassionate pathway toward healing and growth.
R-Recovery
refers to the process of healing and regaining mental and emotional well-being. It involves the client’s progress in overcoming their challenges, which may include achieving personal goals, enhancing coping strategies, and rediscovering hope or a sense of purpose. Recovery is a continuous and individualized journey of growth, maintenance, and prevention, ultimately aiming for a state of stability and overall wellness.

More Than Therapy
Expanding the Way We Support Your Well-Being
At STAR Holistic Services, we believe caring for your well-being means looking at the whole person. While psychotherapy remains at the heart of what we do, our vision has always extended beyond the therapy room.
Through our growing wellness services, we’re creating more opportunities to support your mental, emotional, and physical well-being in one connected and welcoming environment.
Our current wellness programming includes Pilates classes, with additional offerings such as yoga, workshops, events, and other wellness experiences continuing to grow.
Find the Pilates Class That Fits You
Each Pilates class at STAR offers a different way to move while supporting strength, control, mobility, and overall well-being. Choose Tone for a strength-focused, sculpting workout, Burn for muscular endurance and continuous tension, or Ignite for a more dynamic, higher-energy class incorporating both mat and standing movement.
All classes are instructor-led, 45 minutes, and designed to be approachable for a variety of fitness levels.
Tone
A full-body Pilates class focused on sculpting, strengthening, and muscular endurance through controlled, strength-based movement. Expect a balanced mix of core, upper-body, and lower-body work with no cardio focus.
Burn
Full-body Pilates class designed to challenge strength, stability, endurance, and control using a 20-seconds-work, 10-seconds-hold-or-pulse format. Continuous muscular tension and dynamic, instructor-led workout from start to finish.
Ignite
A higher-energy full-body Pilates class combining mat work, standing exercises, strength, balance, and functional movement. Cardio intervals may also be incorporated to raise your heart rate while maintaining controlled, purposeful movement.
Yoga At STAR
Improve Flexibility & Mobility
Yoga incorporates controlled stretching and movement that can help improve flexibility, mobility, and range of motion over time.
Build Strength & Balance
Many yoga movements require you to support and stabilize your own body, helping develop strength, balance, and coordination.
Develop Better Body Awareness
Yoga encourages greater awareness of posture, breathing, alignment, and how your body moves and feels.
Encourage Mindful Movement
Classes provide an opportunity to slow down and focus on intentional movement rather than rushing through a workout.
Support Relaxation
Breathing, movement, and periods of stillness can create an opportunity to step away from the pace of everyday life and focus on the present moment.
Support Your Overall Well-Being
At STAR, yoga is another part of our broader holistic approach to wellness, complementing the mental health, movement, educational, and wellness services available within our centre.
Create Space to Reset & Reconnect
Yoga offers time to slow down, step away from daily demands, and reconnect with your body and breath. At STAR, classes are designed to create a supportive space where movement can become part of a more intentional wellness routine.
What Are STAR Wellness Events?
Our Wellness Events are designed to make mental health and wellness more accessible. Unlike an ongoing therapy group, many events can be attended individually, allowing you to participate when a topic or experience feels relevant to you.
